    Sammanfattning : Abstract The Syntax of the Swedish Present Participle offers a generative analysis of the Swedish present participle with the central goal of accounting for its distribution and function. The analysis offered rests on three hypotheses: (i) Present participles are verbs, (ii) Present participles can appear in complex predicates, and (iii) Adjunct present participial clauses may be interpreted through Control, where Control is assumed to equal an Agree relation.

  5. 4. Random Structured Test Data Generation for Black-Box Testing

    Författare :Michal Palka; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : We show how automated random testing can be used to effectively find bugs in complex software, such as an optimising compiler. To test the GHC Haskell compiler we created a generator of simple random programs, used GHC to compile them with different optimisation levels, and thencompared the results of running them. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Finite verbs in Ngarla (Pama-Nyungan, Ngayarta)
